Ok I see this file is the bbpress code for the File importer for vBulletin. Forgive me I am new to this stuff but I am getting it a bit slowly 😉
Ok I can do that and just to be clear this should be done before the import into bbPress?
Question:
Exactly what code am I to use and where do I paste it..IE
Do I paste in a VB file before import or in a WordPress/bbPress after import.
Also there is the child theme stuff to be concerned about. Just know I am in the R&D of all this now before I start converting my site. I do have Blogs/Articles too but not many.
Thanks I will take a look at it and give it a try and let you know.
Thanks for all your help.
I am using V4.2.1
Ok I got it to work, I had 2 things wrong that I fixed and they where.
In the Id or Hostname I used the server IP address and in prefix I used lower case, I was using caps.
It imported all users, forums, topic, days, times awesome.
Question: my site has a lot of videos and the VB shortcode would put them in like this: [video=youtube_share;yF5sbwb4VTg]http://youtu.be/yF5sbwb4VTg[/video]
Is there anything I can do to make them appear in the posts?
Also what will happen when users log into the forum now?
Yes I did try that too but now go, it either says “No xxxxxx” to everything or gives me the error.
I checked everything again, I tried it with prefix and without and it keeps saying “does not exist” and it does?
I am confident I have put in the right enters, is there something maybe with GoDaddy?
I did try it with the prefix blank and it did not work. I also triple checked the other enters and it just does not work…so I am guessing I have something wrong or the import just does not want to work under my circumstances?
I opened up the database and looked and could see the prefix for example last say the prefix id HG_ what would I put in the Table Prefix?
Thanks for your time.
Nope I just had to make a New Page, named it Forum and then put short code [bbp-forum-index] .
Still not sure if this plugin is going to work for me, I am not that happy with the way it is arranged, it is a bit hard to understand how to see the different forums as they are just text and no color bars to differentiate them. Plus I need to have “Youtube” & “Picture” embed buttons to make it easy for people to share.
I did all that and before I tried anything I watch a Youtube video going over bbpress by Dev4Press.
When I go to make a new Page and select the Templets menu there is no bbpressindex to choose in fact there are no bbpress options to pick?
I am using fresh latest install of WP from GoDaddy, I have “Paid Membership” plugin and and “Simple Local Avatars” and my theme is Responsive.
